Covenant (Dark Souls II)

A covenant is a faction that a player may join in Dark Souls II. Being part of a covenant grants various benefits, though it also imposes certain rules on the player. Breaking said rules can lead to negative effects. Covenants may also have an effect on the player's online interactions.

There are nine covenants in all. You may notice that the covenant badge by your health and stamina bar will slowly flash at times. This indicates that you're eligible to be summoned. For example, a Bell Keeper may be automatically summoned to defend the belfries when the badge is acting in this way. If the badge is static, you will not be summoned.
